    We come here two or three times per year and the superb food, warm reception, friendly but professional service and harbour views combine to make it the perfect venue.

    Didn’t appreciate being kept waiting at the entrance to the restaurant while while three serving staff passed by and told us they will be with us soon and another 5 staff walked passed us and ignored us. Finally, one person came and whether we were being helped! Obviously not and didn’t appreciate looking like idiots standing there. Food was good, fish soup needed Gruyère and not cheddar as cheddar too strong for the soup. Both fish dishes were good.

    Came today for my husband's birthday lunch without the kids and it was glorious. Super relaxed environment, tentative staff friendly and the food was delicious. I hope they add the Thai mussels as a regular menu option, I would come back for them. The Seabass was super fresh too! Highly recommend.

    Superb food, lovely atmosphere, attentive staff. Great for what we wanted. I was a tiny bit cold but it was very windy anyway which made for good viewing of the harbour.
